Feldscher, who could wind up Christian’s top receiver this season, said Dillon’s quarterback demeanor has been a plus for the Patriots, who open the season at 7 p.m. Saturday against Hoover at Granite Hills High.

“He’s a funny guy — tells a lot of jokes and kids around in practice, but when we’re in a game he is totally focused,” Feldscher said. “I know he’s excited about going to Colorado, and that has never died down. He’s at Christian High now and he wants to win every game. I think that’s an exciting factor to all of us on the team.”
